COVER STORY: Musicians of every age turn out for several Saturday nights each summer in Asheville, Tennessee for a celebration of southern Appalachian music. |
SCENIC AMERICA: Frozen Head State Park provides isolation for camping and hiking in Tennessee, west of Knoxville. The heavy forest surrounding the park had been cleared in the 19th century, but reforestation has taken hold to surround the hills with nature. | |
|
OFF THE BEATEN PATH: The Rabbit Hash General Store is the landmark of this tiny town along the Ohio River. Destroyed by fire several years ago, the town rallied to rebuild it in an authentic style. |
ON A MUSICAL NOTE: The tunes of Tin Pan Alley, the location of New York songwriters before sound recording, were featured in a concert by the Clermont Chorale in Ohio. | |
| TIME CAPSULE: Historic film presents the massive construction project in the 1930s that tamed the Colorado River and erected an engineering marvel, Hoover Dam. |
SEASONAL FEATURE: Root beer stands may be a throwback to the 1950s but we found a popular one in Ohio. Summer brings a busy place at lunchtime, with young and old alike enjoying footlongs and of course, root beer. | |
